Illegal Character

[joesedroid]

Hello all, im still learning this but im getting an odd error with my batch file trying to convert it to a .exe

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c "&"cscript REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Novell Client for Windows" && %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32 "C:\Program Files\Novell\Client\ncsetup.dll" NWUninstallClient /s","",@SW_HIDE)

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c "&"cscript REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Novell Client for Windows" /f","",@SW_HIDE)

It is saying that I have Illegal Chars. Can anyone tell me if its the _ ?

Thanks!

cscript is not needed. Also, you have to escape the quotes (and doubles quotes).

Why don't you use RegRead and RegDelete ?

Ok, thanks, just not sure what im doing yet.

ive only used runwait and not escape quotes.

Just open the helpfile and look at the information on these commands.

As to your original issue: you have errors in your double quotes. this way is probably correct:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c cscript REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Novell Client for Windows" && %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32 "C:\Program Files\Novell\Client\ncsetup.dll" NWUninstallClient /s',"",@SW_HIDE)
RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c cscript REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Novell Client for Windows" /f',"",@SW_HIDE)
